DoD activity address codes in contract numbers (DFARS case 2003-D005).

Requires use of a contracting office's DoD activity address code (DoDAAC) in the first six positions of a solicitation or contract number, instead of the DoD activity address number (DoDAAN) found in DFARS Appendix G. This new numbering system took effect on Oct. 1, 2003, in accordance with Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy memoranda dated June 9, 2003, and Oct. 2, 2003 (available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/policy/policydocs.htm). No change is required for existing solicitation and contract numbers. Activities whose DoDAAC and DoDAAN are identical will continue to use the same characters in the first six positions of solicitation and contract numbers.

Appendix G is removed in its entirety from the DFARS, as a result of a recommendation of the DFARS Transformation Task Force. The two-position order codes from DFARS Appendix G, that contracting offices use when placing an order against another activity's contract or agreement, are now available at a separate location on the Defense Acquisition Regulation Web site at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dp/dars/dfars.html.

For reference purposes, archived versions of Appendix G are available in the HTML format of the DFARS at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dp/dars/dfars.html by using the "Prior Version" option shown at the beginning of each Appendix G part.

DoDAACs are maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Registration through the DLA Web site at https://www.daas.dla.mil/daashome/ is required to gain access to DLA's database. While awaiting completion of the registration process, the following Air Force Web site is suggested as an alternate source for DoDAAC information: https://dodaac.wpafb.af.mil.
